For this one, an easy way to solve it is to break it down into parts. First lets convert 5 feet to inches.

Multiply the number of feet by how many inches are in one foot.

5 times 12= 60 in

Now just add the like terms

60 in + 2 in= 62 inches.

Now we see that Sarah is 62 inches tall, now we can convert to centimeters the same way.

62 times 2.54= 157.48

So that makes C your answer, Sarah is 157.48 cm tall.
